Géo Ham Automobile Poster Illustrator

Considered one of the world’s outstanding automotive artists, George Ham is known for technical accuracy and meticulous realism. Spending time behind the wheel as well as the easel, Ham (1900 – 1972) was a car enthusiast who replicated the exact position of every automobile component, often exaggerating details to simulate fierce momentum. In addition to watercolors and gouaches, Ham also sketched many caricatures conveying the personalities of race car drivers. His work was featured in a catalogue, a major French pictorial magazine, and in posters created for the Grand Prix of Monaco and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
